Amos denounces sin in the Northern Kingdom, foretelling of ruin and exile unless they repent. Jeroboam II opposes him. Amos returns to Judah and writes his prophecy – declaring that God is going to severely punish all Israel (Amos 7:9, 8:11–14, 9:8–10) but much later bless and restore her. In 784 BC Jeroboam dies and a period of anarchy follows.
Note 2 Kings 14:29: Ussher states that after Jeroboam II died in 784 BC the Northern Kingdom declined into anarchy (foretold in Amos 7–8) with no-one reigning for almost 12 years. In 773 BC, Prince Zechariah started to reign but after six months was murdered by Shallum.
